According to El's Anglin' this pole can be acquired even after you completed the quest:

Anglers that have already completed the quest can return to Nat Pagle to claim the new pole. The pole binds to the angler when picked up.

Comment by lagmar

This was added because a quest is no longer required to advance beyond 225 fishing.

So instead of removing the original quest, you just get this pole for your troubles instead.

Comment by fenoglio

now, when alliance complete this quest, they can pick up their pole years later, but why can't horde pick up there pole from the horde equivelant quest for the exact same pole?

Comment by macrebre

How many fishing poles did this fool have? and why's he keep losing them?

Comment by Style75

I can't wait to get this one, as I have been trying to win the fishing contest for several months now and I have some special fishing line just waiting to go on a new +25 pole.

Question is: why is the DPS only 5? Seeing as how most people who get this will be level 30+ , that seems kind of puny. The Big Iron pole had 19 DPS and that was available at level 25. I know it's a silly complaint, but the DPS does come in handy when some beast (or ganker, the same thing really) strays to close to my favorite fishing spot.

One other thing, it's really too bad they couldn't give this a new model. This one and this one both got new models but not the nat pagle pole. Oh well, next patch maybe?

no it was added cuse you no longer need to do the quest to get higher fishing so they added this rod as a reward instead since you can now train fishing at any fishing trainer

Did not count for Loremaster of Kalimdor, but DID count for The Seeker.

Does he give it back again even though you trashed it?

You're all wrong!The obvious alliance guide to this quest is:

Prologue: This requires that you are a mage and are above level 35 and have at least 3x Elixir of Water walking with you. An alternative is that you have a personal mage with you (you wish), and a shaman (water walking).

1. Pre-pot Elixir of Water Walking. 2. Teleport to Theramore. 4. Turn your character facing outside. Blink. 5. Ride out to Nat's landing (across the waterway, old Onyxia shortcut) (58,60). 6. Pick up the quest. 7. Teleport to Theramore. 8. Turn your character facing outside. Blink. 9. Fly to Feralas (Talanaar). 10. Camp Mojache: You will lose your Water walking here. 11. Fish up the Feralas Ahi (62,51). 12. Proceed north to Desolace. 13. Pick up quest To the Top. 14. Slowfall, mount up and jump down and proceed north. 15. Arrive at the lower point of Desolace. 16. Fish up the Sar'theris Striker at the south-west bay (26,76). 17. Teleport to Theramore. 18. Turn your character facing outside. Blink. 19. Fly to Ratchet. 20. Land in Ratchet. 21. Pre-pot Elixir of Water Walking. 22. Take the boat to Booty Bay. 23. Jump off the boat as soon as your screen loads. 24. Fish up the Savage Coast Blue Sailfin (26,67). 25. Teleport to any random capital and take the Portal to Blasted Lands (I suggest Darnassus 'cause the distance to the portal is shorter than SW, and there is no one in Darnassus to ask you for a portal). 26. Mount up and ride north to Swamp of Sorrows. 27. Take a left turn and head towards Stonard. 28. Stonard: You will lose your Water Walking here. 29. Pre-pot Elixir of Water Walking. 30. Fish up the Misty Reed Mahi Mahi (entire Swamp of Sorrows shoreline). 31. Teleport to Theramore. 32. Turn your character facing outside. Blink. 33. Ride out to Nat's landing (across the waterway, old Onyxia shortcut) (58,60). 34. Complete quest.

Afterwords:Who said mages were lazy?

Edit: Spacing and additional information.

For anyone on the beta - will this be gone when Cataclysm is released?

Legit question don't down rate please.

answered* Still there as of the Shattering. Stop down ranking.

I just completed this quest on my 85 rogue. Picked up the quest to see Nat from Org, picked up the actual quest from Nat, did the fishing, have the "new" pole as well as my old FC-5000. So yes it works great in Cataclysm.

I think it's sad that I got the Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 better fishing pole before even getting this quest - only requires fishing 100 (rather than 225) and does more damage, too, even if it ups your fishing skill by 5 less... and it has it's own graphic! Reward from Snapjaws, Mon! which is the horde version, you can get it as alliance also (according to the page).

Now why did the fishing pole link show up in the 'live preview' and not the quest? Hrm.

■ Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole can buy from Sairuk (Dragonblight) or Tanaika (Howling Fjord), you must be Exalted with The Kalu'ak, its the best pole with cool model and unique breathing underwater in game, you must have the expansion Wrath of the Lich King if you want this item.

Comment by forestsage

This item should be Legendary and increase your chance of getting stuff like the Giant Sewer Rat and Sea Turtle when equiped!

Maybe even go as far as making the line glow (red) when you're about to pull up something like the Giant Sewer Rat and Sea Turtle. So you'll know ahead of time before you actually catch something, and be able to just keep casting until it glows.
